AGGRAVATED ASSAULT: Battle Creek police are seeking a warrant for a woman, 22, after a former boyfriend said she sprayed him with pepper spray during an argument. Officers were called to the first block of Maplegrove Avenue at 6:20 p.m. Saturday. The man, 19, said the woman drove up and they began to argue because he had taken his young daughter in the car without using a car seat. He told police he approached the woman when she asked for a lighter and she reached out of her car and sprayed him in the face and then drove away. The man said they weren't really boyfriend and girlfriend although they have a child together. And he said a woman who was with him at the time of the incident was a witness but he didn't know her last name or how to reach her, police said. He was treated at the scene for the spray in his eyes.
